Ruvellas are a five-piece outfit from Dundee. They’ve been catching the eye this past 12 months supporting the likes of Shambolics, The Snuts, and The Dunts. They consist of Lewis O’Farrell (lead guitar), Matthew ‘Maddie’ Short (rhythm guitar), Ben Gowans (bass), and Aiden Stuart (vocals).
Still The Same
Angelic indie-pop made by mates for mates. Drenched in togetherness, it stumbles and swaggers the streets arm in arm. It takes the vibrancy of Foals, the urgency of Maccabees, and elegantly nudges them to the Adidas samba lover with its life-affirming guitar solo.
At the End of the Day
Taking a ‘Slide Away’ for a lo-fi walk. O’Farrell and Maddie tap into Noel’s quest for escape with such skill, it defies their fledgling years. Their ability to inject a sense of haziness takes their Oasis solo to the outskirts of Richard Hawley’s psyche work on ‘Standing at the Sky’s Edge’, the results, intoxicating!
Frontman Aiden has a Liam ‘Slide Away’ quality also. He drags something oppressed being towards the light. He imbues an uprising spirit of this new generation of rock ‘n roll. A sense that life, forlorn as it has been for so long, is now been taken by the scruff of the neck.
